This semi-integrated payment processing for credit and debit cards uses the vx810 or vx820 Duet payment terminal with Softpay.

This solution uses a the verifone vx810 or vx820 Duet pin pads

The vx810 / vx820 payment terminal with Softpay is supplied by Global Payments Canada. The payment terminal is responsible to communicating to Global Payments for authorization, printing a credit/debit slip, closing the batch, performing voids and other daily activities.

System Five or SpeedyPOS connects to the payment terminal through a serial port. System Five sends the sale / refund amount to the payment terminal, the clerk or customer then swipes the card through the payment terminal or the pinpad. The payment terminal authorizes the transaction and prints a customer and merchant slip. It then returns the approval amount, cash back amount and approval code to System Five.

RS-232 Serial connection only (USB-Serial connectors do not work)

The license codes will need to be changed to Payment Processor OTHER. From here a tab will be available in the Credit/Debit Card Verification Options for the Global Payment Semi-Integrated Processor, it's a matter of then checking the box to confirm you wish to use this, and then selecting the correct port.
